DescriptionA little village stretching like an arch of the moon around a quiet basin.
Never have I felt the way I did when I walked into that green indefiniteness, with such a sense of peace and fulfilment.
From Vie Errante by Guy de Maupassant It was Pliny who first described this stunning natural area and named it 'Portus Delphini'.
This over time was corrupted to Portofino.
Portofino is a typical fisherman village of the Ligurian Riviera which has become one of the most renowned tourist spots in all of Italy, best known in all the world for its tall colored houses situated in a semicircular formation around the small port and piazza.
Portofino and the Tigullio Gulf are symbols representing Italy throughout the world.
The coast is a sequence of fashionable resorts with their marinas, pastel-colored houses, first-rate sports facilities and the seductive atmosphere of the Dolce Vita.
But perhaps the most striking thing for the traveler is the beauty of the seascapes, with some of the most celebrated views in Italy, suspended between the intense blue of the sea and the green mountains.
The area of Portofino boasts an exceptional natural heritage that includes traces of rural and nautical civilizations, splendid religious architecture, and clusters of rural houses surrounded by tiny orchards and sections of land planted with grape vines and olive trees.
This is a guide to a visit to Portofino and the towns of nearby Riviera del Levante, from Sestri Levante to Genoa, including Sestri Levante, Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli, San Fruttuoso and the villages of the Cinque Terre, with the trails between them.
There are extensive descriptions and photos of the attractions.
It contains many reviews for the best recommended restaurants that are at the location described.
